GoogleApps for Education–with the free Postini Message Security–is certainly spreading in Texas. For example, I’ve heard of the following Texas districts that are switching (or already have) to GoogleApps for Education to replace their in-district email systems (please let me know of others I’ve missed):
- Chapel Hill ISD
- Conroe ISD
- White Oak ISD
- Magnolia ISD
Also, be sure to read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document on Google Apps in Education.
- Who Own’s GoogleApps’ content?
- Do you really need a class on Gmail?
- Computing in the Clouds (great article on the subject published by ISTE)
I’m also enjoying watching these videos on using GoogleApps in the Classroom from Dan Rezac:
- Google Apps in the Class: Text Coding in Google Docs
- What can you learn from a first year Tech Instructor?
- Google Apps for Education and the Teacher’s Process
- Google Apps for the Class: Using Google Presentations
- Google Apps for the Class- Using Site Templates
- Google Apps for Education: A Primer
- Google Apps for the Class: Storyboard Template
- Google Apps in the Class: Creating Online Seating Charts
- Google Apps for Education and the Teacher’s Process
And, a quick round-up of other stuff out there:
